Hey Indivisibles,

Late last week, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework passed, along with
promises from conservative Democrats to support the most important part of
the Biden Agenda: the Build Back Better package. While we remain hopeful
that Democrats are going to get the big package done, the ongoing
obstructionism of conservative Dems made one thing clear: we need more
progressives in Congress fighting for our priorities. That’s why today,
one year out from election day, we’re taking action to get more
progressives onto ballots and into Congress to fight for the wins we need.

Today, we’re announcing the return of our National Endorsements program
with an initial slate of 7 progressive powerhouses. These are the
incumbents at the forefront of fighting for our priorities and the
challengers we want to see join them in cementing progressive power.

[ [link removed] ]Indivisible's first round of endorsements

For this first round, Indivisible proudly endorses Rep. Pramila Jayapal
(WA-07), Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-05), Rep. Mondaire Jones (NY-17), Jessica
Cisneros (TX-28), Odessa Kelly (TN-05), Kina Collins (IL-07), and Melanie
D’Arrigo (NY-03). 

* Rep. Pramila Jayapal has already accomplished more than most members
of Congress do in their entire tenure. As the chairperson of the
Congressional Progressive Caucus, she's introduced and co-sponsored
some of the most progressive legislation in recent years. Rep. Jayapal
has also worked hard to ensure that House Democrats stick to their
promises and pass an inclusive Build Back Better Plan that works for
all Americans.
* Rep. Ilhan Omar is a refugee, a mother, and the first-ever Black,
Muslim woman to serve in the House. In her short time in office, Rep.
Omar has established herself as a key member of an emerging
progressive voting bloc, often introducing or co-sponsoring ambitious
progressive policies. She was an original co-sponsor of the House
Green New Deal resolution, advocating for major reform on climate
change. 
* Rep. Mondaire Jones is running for reelection to pass the Green New
Deal and Medicare for All, forgive student debt and make college
tuition-free, and ensure that everyone can provide for themselves and
their families. He knows that we need more representatives who are
committed to social, racial, and economic justice, and who will fight
for a democracy that works for everyone.
* Jessica Cisneros is a human rights and immigration attorney born and
raised in the border town of Laredo. She’s running against Rep. Henry
Cuellar, an anti-choice, anti-environment, anti-labor conservative
who’s been fighting against progressive priorities in Congress for
over 15 years. Jessica will fight to protect workers’ right to
organize and bargain for a better deal. She wants to bring new jobs to
the district to repair South Texas’ crumbling infrastructure. And
she’s a strong advocate for a Green New Deal, creating countless good
paying union jobs as South Texas becomes a leader in renewable energy.
* Born and raised on the East Side of Nashville, Odessa Kelly has a long
track record of advocating for her community. She spent 14 years as a
public servant in Nashville’s Parks Department, where she saw
first-hand the effects of political neglect and policy failure:
poverty, substance abuse, and gun violence. As the first Black woman
elected to Congress from Tennessee, Odessa will be ready to take on
the big structural issues that limit opportunities for working
families. 
* Hailing from one of the most diverse districts in Illinois, Kina
Collins is running for Congress because she believes that her district
can be a transformative district, built on equity and inclusion. The
residents of IL-07 deserve a fighter -- and that is exactly what she
promises to do. She’ll fight for livable wages, school zones and
neighborhoods free of gun violence, and full access to quality
healthcare. 
* As a mom of three, Melanie D’Arrigo is running for Congress because
she knows that the children of today deserve so much more than the
world they are inheriting. D’Arrigo believes that we can create a
country that works for all of us if we elect representatives that
prioritize our people. She will not be taking any corporate money
because she wants to restore the voice of the people and fight for an
inclusive democracy for all. 

But we’re not stopping here! Indivisible groups, we need your help to grow

on whether to endorse. Lots of groups have found endorsements to be
really, really valuable -- [ [link removed] ]you can read these group leaders’ stories of
their successful national endorsements in 2018 and 2020. Want to make a
